Photo Journal/ A-Z Photo Challenge: D is for Dance

It’s Tuesday once again, time for us to join Frizztext’s A-Z Photo Challenge. Letter this week is D and I picked the theme Dance. Several months back, my family and I had the rare opportunity to watch a free performance of the Mindanao Troupe of Dancers live at the Esplanade Theatre by the Bay. It’s one of the initiatives here in Singapore to have a variety of performances almost every night at The Concourse and the Theatre by the Bay. If only it is not too far from where we live, I’d visit every day. Here are a fewphotographs I thought I’d share with you today.

Dance

Dance, dance, for the figure is easyThe tune is catching and will not stopDance till the stars come down from the raftersDance, dance, dance till you drop.” ― W.H. Auden

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” ― Rumi

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,For I would ride with you upon the wind,Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,And dance upon the mountains like a flame.” ― W.B. Yeats, The Land of Heart’s Desire

“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.” ― Rabindranath Tagore

“They dined on mince, and slices of quinceWhich they ate with a runcible spoon;And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,They danced by the light of the moon.” ― Edward Lear, The Owl and the Pussycat
